Ronan was born on June 13, 2001 in Edmonton to Joe and Ali. He is a big brother to Malcolm; grandson to Lydia, Teresa and Bob; nephew, cousin and friend to many. A 4th grader at Prince Charles School; musician; music lover; chess champion; Harry Potter fan; bananagram-er; card shark; board gamer, corny joke teller. And cancer fighter.

This blog is intended to ensure that Ronan’s vast support team of family and friends are connected, informed and engaged while he, dad Joe, mom Ali and brother Malcolm help him beat a terrible, scary disease - embryonal sarcoma, a rare childhood liver cancer. So welcome to Ronan’s blog. Sit, read, cry, and vow to fight this fight with Ronan, Malcolm, Ali and Joe. And please leave a few words of encouragement with a Comment.

Drum Roll Please...

Ronan gained 2.5lbs since our last visit on Thursday afternoon...for a total of almost 5lbs in one week!! Judy and I did a "WhoooHooo!" when he stepped on the scales. (And I haven't only been feeding him ice-cream!)

So we head back to Halifax tomorrow - Ronan is scheduled to be admitted on Thursday morning for Round 4 of chemo. In three weeks we will go back and they will re-image everything again and we'll go from there.

Keep praying and sending happy thoughts!
